Great to meet you!

What would your life become if you truly met yourself? This is what I help my clients experience. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership—one where your voice holds equal weight and healing unfolds in a space that feels safe, open, and free of judgment.

If anxiety, perfectionism, or self-doubt have been weighing on you— or you’re longing for a space where your faith and values are truly welcomed—you’ve come to the right place.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic style is empathic, blends insight with action, and tailored to you as an individual. My aim is that you feel empowered, understood, and challenged to grow throughout our work together. I show up as a real person. I listen closely, I ask thoughtful questions, and I help you connect the dots without judgment. We'll define your goals and explore patterns holding you back in your life and relationships. Within my therapy toolbox is an assortment of approaches such as CBT, psychodynamic, schema therapy, ACT, faith based, and experiential therapies. You will learn more about yourself through our therapy together, identify and shift negative thought patterns hindering your perception of self, deepen insight by exploring how childhood experiences shape who you are, how you think and behave, as well as develop practical coping strategies that work to help restore balance.

If you are of Christian faith and desire therapy that integrates scripture and your spiritual values, I welcome the opportunity to incorporate these into our sessions in a way that feels meaningful and supportive to you.

What you can expect from me

In our first session we'll begin by setting your therapy goals as the foundation for our work, along with a dive into your history to begin looking at patterns and themes that shape your thoughts, behaviors, and uncover what may be holding you back. In our work together you'll learn how to set boundaries, strengthen relationships, and control your emotions with greater ease & clarity.
